"Quite simply, if our partners are unable to continue growing, we would stop growing. After a thorough evaluation and assessment process, we chose Phil. This turned out to be the best decision we could have made. He has helped contribute to the success of our channel. Indeed, we have realized 18% to 22% growth in a market that is only growing at 4%. I would strongly encourage anyone seeking to achieve similar results to make good use of Phil's expertise." 

—Jeff Ray CEO, Dassault Systèmes SOLIDWORKS Corp (fmr.)

"Phil's guidance turns strategy and vision into reality. His track record of success and vast “real world” experience fuels his incredible impact as an Executive Coach. I have personally witnessed Phil’s work with senior executives and middle managers; the feedback and results underscore his effectiveness. He’s very direct, challenges the status quo, yet our team is comfortable and at ease with him. I strongly recommend leveraging Phil to develop highly effective leaders in any organization."

—Steve Francaviglia, President-Greater Milwaukee South, Aurora Health Care

"Phil is an incredible mentor and confidant. He strikes a great balance of speaking from experience and business best practices with his tremendous interpersonal skills and empathy to give sound advice and sincere support. I've learned and grown significantly as a manager due to his ongoing support and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to improve themselves both professionally and personally."

—Jennifer Fix, Manager, Product Management at The Home Depot

“Phil’s process and experience is the key element that has enabled us to create an employee-empowered culture; it’s also the key to our growth. This has enabled us to engage our team more fully, create sustainable management, and ensure long-term growth as opposed to a quick fix. In the first 25 months of working with Phil, we doubled our revenue and tripled our earnings, and that was 12 years ago. We continue our partnership with Phil today; he’s a great leader, coach and a genuine human being!”

—Ken Coburn, Owner, GoEngineer

"Phil came in, assessed the situation objectively and factually, developed best practices for us, taught us how to teach, worked with our channel independently and separately. The result… we're a better company! He's a trusted advisor, a great friend, and a great partner, and I cannot imagine being in business without his partnership."

—Ken Clayton, VP, Worldwide Sales, Dassault Systèmes SOLIDWORKS Corp

“Phil, or Dr Phil, as I call him during our one on one conversations, has been an amazing asset to me personally as well as to our business. He leads every conversation with a level of empathy, integrity and compassion that creates a dynamic setting where people are open to constructive and direct dialogue – quite an art form to have people open up and take on critical engagements. Building trust quickly is key to his success with our team.

From a personal perspective Phil and I have worked together for more than 12 years. During this time, I’ve leveraged him as a mentor, a sounding board and a leadership development resource. He’s continually challenged me to find a work/life balance that’s sustainable and healthy while providing sound business advice. Phil’s worked with me on my own belief system; he helped me uncover things that were holding me back and taught me to more fully trust in own abilities and potential. This has helped me grow my career and the careers of others on our team.

Phil’s been a CEO and a COO and because of this, he understands business and people very well. He’s been an invaluable resource for me to leverage in working directly with my leadership team as a development resource, improving and accelerating the development of the vast majority of our leadership team.

The ROI from partnering with Phil has been incredible and sustainable. I continually see performance improvements from managers and the sales team. With whoever Phil is working with, it’s not uncommon to see increases in sales performance of 40%+ over a 12-18-month period; this clearly has a direct impact EBITDA!

In a nutshell, being a stats kind of guy, I continually track the performance of the team members Phil works with. It’s these results that drive us to continue our 12-year relationship. He’s practical, respectful and tenacious at drawing out the things no-one wants to talk about. This is where the results come from – finding and talking about the things no-one is comfortable talking about.”

—Marcel Matte, President and CEO, TriMech

"During the first year of working with Phil, my sales team exceeded quota. Phil offers pragmatic, insightful advice which has been instrumental in helping me achieve and exceed my goals. He’s a great thinking partner, one with a deep well of experience that will challenge and support you. Strategy, culture, mind-set and execution, Phil has helped me raise my game across the board. For me, the real value in working with Phil is his people-first philosophy, combined with an ability to help me improve critical dialog with my peers and direct reports.

Phil is an exceptional coach…invaluable!"

—Anthony Java, Director - Strategic & Mid-Market Sales, Nearmap

"Phil’s ability to connect on a personal and professional level is unrivaled. He has a knack for uncovering and dissecting challenges, and then enables you to see how best to address these challenges as opportunities for growth. His passion for seeing me achieve my best is infectious and inspiring; this has enabled me to establish and achieve beyond what I originally thought possible. I felt empowered after every coaching session with Phil, and I look forward to reengaging again sometime in the future."

—Jack Bennetto, Sales Manager - Commercial Mid-Market & Channel Sales, Nearmap Sydney Australia

"I met Phil in 2018 at a time when I really needed help with my executive role at Crossroads Fellowship, a church in Mombasa, Kenya. With only a theological background I was lacking in much Executive training and thinking. Since then, Phil has been a personal mentor and friend. With his help I developed a new operational structure that is more efficient, and has helped us develop systems for creating and improving visibility and accountability across the entire church. Our Leadership Team looks forward to our Zoom meetings with Phil. He asks amazing questions while guiding us towards self-discovery and solution creation. He understands people and knows when to encourage and when to challenge.

I have recently transitioned from Crossroads Fellowship Church to founding a non-profit for Christian missions and development of vulnerable communities. Phil's coaching has played a big role in getting me confident enough to make this huge transition. He continues to offer me very practical insights for fund raising, vision creation and execution. It is easy to recommend Phil because he is the real deal!"

—Gideon Banda, Executive Director – Renewal Project Africa – Affiliate of East West Ministries International

"Working with Phil is the silver bullet…plain and simple.

I was skeptical when I began working with Phil…not of the man, but of the mission. Frankly, I had made up my mind that “I am who I am”, and any challenges I had could be addressed by simply focusing on solving them myself.

Our discussions were transparent, respectful and I was impressed with how quickly he assessed my skills as well as some of my dull corners that needed some sharpening.

Phil understood my goals, then helped me craft an action plan that ultimately ensured I achieved them. The plan was simple, actionable and it inspired me to make positive changes in my approach to my colleagues and my customers.

In the year we worked together, Phil helped me to build strong alliances within my company that led to better, deeper engagements with customers and prospects.

These strong internal relationships evolved into tremendous additional support that have helped me better address our customers’ needs. The improved relationships have come as a result of me deepening my appreciation regarding the amazing efforts and contributions of those around me…and that a little public and well-deserved recognition goes a long way in letting my team know how much I appreciate them.

The results of working with Phil were significant - I had the best year of my career financially, and have built and maintained strong alliances within my team and company. Perhaps most importantly, I like my job better and I am better at my job.

Phil, I simply wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your help this year. Thanks again for the sound advice…it’s like liquid confidence without the hangover."

—Eric Gold, Corporate Accounts Executive at Dassault Systemes

"Phil has been a fantastic coach. I have built a very trusting relationship with him which is a contributing factor to our fruitful conversations. It’s helped for Phil to connect with additional Baird leaders to gain perspective regarding the goals of our coaching engagement; this additional insight has helped Phil and I develop a strategy for our discussions.

Although Phil and I have worked on a number of priorities, two that surface to the top for me is the importance of being a bridge builder and investing in the success of people outside of my immediate department. Broadening my view of how I invest in relationships throughout the organization has expanded my view of creating continuity and momentum across all teams as opposed to focusing most of my energy on my team, which is easy to do when a leader’s bandwidth is stretched.

Additionally, I’ve always been a strategic thinker, but with the never-ending flow of operational priorities, strategic thinking/planning has often taken a back seat to execution. Phil helped me understand, more deeply, the importance of broadening my focus and spending appropriate amounts of time on execution, strategic thinking/planning, and also building relationships and consensus within my team and across multiple teams. This blended approach has enabled me to scale more effectively in ways that benefit my team, company and me personally.

In our coaching sessions, Phil was as open and transparent as I. This created deep trust between us and fueled our progress. He has a wealth of experience and knowledge and has definitely helped me grow as a leader."

—Shelly Peterson, HR Operations Manager, Baird

"Working with Phil has been very profitable for my business and a pleasure, as well. Phil has an exceptional ability to identify and focus on the issues that matter the most and will have the greatest impact on profitable growth. He brings a unique perspective, having owned and run his own business and having worked with so many other business leaders. I trust and value his advice, and I highly recommend him to other business leaders."

—John D. Emory Jr., CFA, JD/MBA, President, Emory & Co., LLC, INVESTMENT BANKING

"Phil is a major contributor to elevating my performance as a manger and as a leader.

Working with Phil has taught me to lead in a way that engages my team fully and inspires them to over achieve, consistently. He taught me new ways to improve and maintain team morale and team cohesion, enabling our team to work as a collective rather than individual contributors. He guided me to find ways to create a very healthy, yet competitive environment within the team, which has enabled everyone on the team to compete with one another, but also to contribute to one another’s success, each helping team-mates when needed.

Due to the rate of growth Nearmap is experiencing, my team is also expanding to drive and support this growth. Rapid growth brings challenges, and as my team grows, I realized my approach to management has to evolve as well. Phil has been instrumental in helping me become more effective in my communications, specifically helping me improve my ability to have critical dialog with my team; these are the honest and transparent conversations that all leaders need to have. These are also the conversations that correct attitudes, behaviors and inspires the team to be their best, through growth and change.

Phil is great and very professional in his approach; he is direct and effective. Having him as a coach has been tremendous and hugely beneficial in my personal and professional lives. He’s a great resource and has provided me with the knowledge and insight that fuels my continued growth as a capable, scalable leader. He has helped me dramatically expand my personal vision, enabling me to achieve goals and outcomes that I previously thought were impossible to achieve."

—Gafar Fadl, Sales Manager - Mid-Market, Nearmap, Sydney Australia

"Working with Phil has grown my confidence and effectiveness as a leader. He has helped me understand what my leadership ‘super power’ is and how to best leverage this to make positive change within my organization.

One of the many things we’ve discussed is mind-set. Phil has driven home the importance of having the proper mind-set, an exponential as opposed to an incremental mind-set. Instilling an exponential mind-set and embracing ‘possibility thinking’ has been the fuel that has enabled my team to achieve and exceed performance expectations. In fact, this is one of the key concepts that has enabled my team and region to go from last to first in less than 12 months.

As a team, we have an ongoing dialog about cultivating a mind-set that supports the achievement of our individual and collective goals. My team embraces the fact that mind-set is one of the few things that is actually within our control; our mind-set is also a key determinate to our happiness and fulfillment at work.

Phil has taught me how to improve my approach when navigating critical conversations and challenging personalities. This has helped improve my ability to manage conflict, which is an awesome feeling, as this is usually the hardest thing, I as a leader, have to deal with.

He has made a big difference in my effectiveness as a leader; since working together, my team has become much more focused, which has led to consistent and predictable performance. We’ve worked on creating engagement, accountably, critical dialog and a healthy culture.

Working with Phil has been a great experience and investment!"

—Jake Kissel, Central Area Sales Director at Dassault Systèmes

"Working with Phil has been a game-changer for my business and myself. In just a short amount of time, I’m on track to double my billings this year. With Phil’s guidance, I’ve gained extreme clarity regarding the priorities that drive, not only growth, but sustainable growth. He’s so much more than a business coach, though. From our calls, he’s been able to pinpoint the “head trash” (aka my insecurities) keeping me stuck, whether I’m speaking about them or not. My confidence has skyrocketed from leveraging Phil’s experience and insights, whether they involve my strategy, "self-talk” or creating  clarity regarding the exact ROI my clients experience as a result of our work together. I’m so grateful to work with Phil, and I highly recommend his coaching for anyone ready to break through a plateau!" 

—Danielle Zeigler, SEO + Digital Marketing Strategist

"ROI is a key business driver for many business decisions that are made on a daily basis. Phil’s contribution is clearly additive to our earnings growth; our ROI on leveraging Phil as a development resource is significant. He builds upon and leverages all other factors within our corporate system. He understands best practices and his owner/operator experience fuels his ability to assist in developing many of our leaders and in gaining alignment and engagement quickly. Phil knows how to add value to an OEM and their channel partners. He epitomizes being a true “partner.”

—Tom Lavinka, CFO at TriMech Solutions

"When I started working with Phil, I expected general strategy, and I ended up with so much more. His guidance revolves around not only creating a more successful executive but also a more successful person. He wants you to be effective, confident and happy. Great listener, always empathetic, deep experience; he’s a great coach and mentor."

—Adrian Fanjoy, VP of Technical Services, Computer Aided Technology

“My strategy, goals, and relationships have evolved in a very transformative way while working with Phil. It’s not so much that Phil changed who I was, professionally; it’s more like he unlocked a part of me that was lying in wait.

I have been working with Phil for over a year, and when we first started meeting together, the main topic was a conflict between myself and another co-worker. It seemed like an impossible situation, but I listened to Phil’s Podcast “Relationship Restoration” and from that point on, my outlook and approach were completely different. Using the skills I learned from Phil, and the approach outlined in the podcast, I was able to defuse a very volatile situation, and restore a relationship to a level I never though could be achieved.

Bottom line: Phil knows culture, and Phil knows people. If you want to build a meaningful culture in your company, that goes beyond just skin deep, then Phil is the person to get you there. The philosophy he has on company culture resonates with people. It isn’t fluff that just sprinkles the surface.

Besides relationship and culture building, Phil has helped me manage my time more effectively, think more strategically, and unlock my true potential. The strides I have made in my career would not have been possible without the guidance, and support from Phil.

Thank you, Phil”

—Chuck Dostal, Manager, Sales Engineering, Nearmap

“I am blown away with what has transpired since I first engaged with Phil for coaching! He has helped me with the fundamentals of life and business with an approach that focuses completely on me as an individual, and what I need to do to see progress on all fronts. Partnering with Phil has led me to become the number two sales rep worldwide within the SolidWorks partner community - after being in the role for only one full year. In addition, my personal income has increased 133% in the first year! Without Phil’s personal coaching, the volatility of the work would have engulfed me. Phil helped bring out my best which has greatly benefitted my professional and my family life. If you have a passion to succeed in work and in all areas of your life, Phil is the guy who will get you there.”

—Stephen Gordon, Account Manager, GoEngineer

Intelligent and motivating, Phil is a fantastic CEO resource!"

—Shane Preston, Executive Vice President - Global Sales, Nearmap, Sydney Australia

"I’ve been through really in-depth business coaching in the past, and no one has ever been able to provide me with the clarity that Phil has. In a short amount of time, he gets you to look in the mirror, identify the core issues and make improvements while maintaining our relationship and a high degree of accountability. He has a really unique set of skills."

—Nicole Turley, Sales Director, Central Area, Dassault Systèmes SOLIDWORKS Corp

His experience has brought new insight to me regarding how to build greater trust, transparency, engagement and alignment with my direct reports, and also with executives and doctors throughout our healthcare system.

He’s a gifted communicator with a compassionate heart; this combined with his vast business experience and his deep understanding of what makes people tick, makes Phil an invaluable resource to any leader.

—Chuck Wesolowski, MBA, BSN, RN, Director of Surgical Services, Aurora Sinai Medical Center

Working with Phil has increased my productivity 40% in 12 months, and helped me provide effective leadership to the 14 people on my team. Phil’s coaching style is professional and empathetic. He does a great job holding me accountable with a firm but fair approach. My own professional development and that of my team owe a lot to Phil!”

—Jeff Wicklein, Sales Director Engineering & Business Solutions, TriMech Companies

"Phil is incredibly transparent, and he shares his life experiences both good and bad, personally and professionally. That’s one of the reasons he’s so effective as a coach—he has tremendous life experience that I get to benefit from. When you work with Phil, you also get his wife, Jo, and her positive influence in his life. Both the male and female perspective comes through in how he guides me. He really understood the challenge of balancing priorities as a single mom, both professionally and personally. A lot of that insight comes from Jo and how they’ve worked on their own marriage for decades."

—Sara Rebscher, Account Manager, Computer Aided Technology, Inc.

"The best part of working with Phil is that he comes across as a mentor and a caring big brother. He tells me what I need to hear, challenges, encourages and equips me to achieve beyond what I previously thought possible. One of the most unique characteristics of Phil is that he’s always genuinely excited about the progress I’m making. He has such a positive attitude and approach to how he communicates and encourages me into growth. His guidance is real, it comes from experience, and it produces significant results!"

—David Glassbrook, Strategic Manager, Navy Channel, TriMech Solutions

"Phil, Phil, and Phil. This man has encouraged me on so many fronts—too many to mention. He is a vital part of our ECOSYSTEM, our growth, and he is part of our corporate family. When he speaks, I take notes. He understands our business, he understands our culture, and most importantly—he’s great at helping people and companies achieve their best. Phil points me to my potential. He helps me to think in terms of “what’s possible”, he asks me the hard questions and challenges me head-on in a way that creates growth and achievement. I always take so much from Phil because I know he’s “done the work” himself."

—Chris Harris, 3D Printing Specialist, Master Combatives Instructor, Warrior Makers

"I’ve never experienced anything like this. Phil’s helped me overcome some significant challenges. His experience, empathy and ability to take me to the next level is exhilarating, the sky’s the limit. Any leader could learn a lot from Phil, he’s not just an executive coach, he’s a life coach for executives."

—Tony Bustos, VP of Sales, Computer Aided Technology

“Phil Mydlach is an incredible mentor and coach. This was the first time I’ve ever engaged personally with a coach and what a difference it has made in my performance and in the rate of my growth as a sales professional. Phil’s experience, and insights have dramatically compressed my learning curve, and has changed the entire course of my sales career. He was immediately impactful, able to leverage my strengths while helping me make the necessary improvements. Within my first six months of working with Phil, my year over year sales grew 33%, my pipeline grew by over 120%, all while becoming more organized and efficient enabling me to achieve even greater levels of production and income than I originally thought possible. I highly recommend Phil for any sales professional looking to break through. I cannot imagine where I would be today without Phil's guidance and leadership.” 

—Nathan Pfeiffer, Business Development Manager, Geometric Solutions

"Phil is exactly who he presents himself to be and he uses real-life stories from his own background; most coaches don't have his depth of real-world experience. Phil gets it. He’s sincere, consistent, authentic and he gets results."

—Brad Hansen, CEO, GoEngineer

"Working with Phil has given me valuable direction in how to improve my team’s performance. While I know I still have a lot to learn as a sales leader, Phil has shown me that I don’t always need to have all the answers. I need to be the conduit of ideas exchanged by fully leveraging the talent and brilliance on my team!  His guidance in this area alone has created tremendous momentum for both my team and myself. Phil has helped my team improve accountability, execution and ultimately consistency in performance. This consistent performance has paid off! Our team has performed at 102% of quota, reflecting a 13% year-over-year growth. It’s also resulted in additional responsibilities for me in leading a larger team – growing from eight people in NA to 21 people globally. When I started working with Phil one year ago, I was Director of Corporate Accounts. As I start this year, I am now the Director of Corporate Accounts Worldwide. Phil has helped me bring out my best performance!"

—Ed Miller, Director Corporate Accounts Worldwide, SolidWorks

"Phil has a way of getting you to stretch yourself further than you think you are capable. When I first started working with him, my sales team struggled to achieve quota. Phil help me to define the obstacles much more clearly, and then helped me develop the management capabilities that enabled me to dramatically improve my sales team’s performance. Since working with Phil, my sales team has increased production 33% over the previous year. Leveraging his experience has significantly improved my capabilities as a leader, and has equipped me with the ability to consistently achieve and exceed our goals and targets year after year. We are now poised to have our best year, again!"

—Michael Sproles, Director of Software Sales, TPM

“Phil is a grounded, normal human being whose actionable advice and immediately applicable solutions have allowed me to reach a much greater level of comfort and confidence in my professional life. As a woman in a male-dominated profession, working with Phil has been instrumental in helping me eliminate what he calls “head trash” and truly see the capabilities that reside within me. Phil genuinely gets the Mars/Venus dynamic and is able to coach accordingly with sensitivity. I’ve seen so many tangible signs of growth since working with Phil, including the ability to be more proactive in addressing challenging topics and difficult personalities. If you need help in growing your confidence to let your best shine through, call Phil.”

—Renee Nehls, Tooling Engineer, ORBIS

"When I started working with Phil, I was a new manager in an industry with lots of complexities. My goal was to get up to speed as quickly as possible, and his guidance was perfect. He’s been through this; he started his own business, grew it, then sold it. Because of that experience, having him to bounce ideas off of, to share struggles and pain points with, and to know that he’s been successful doing exactly what I’m trying to accomplish, is such a tremendous asset. He’s really helped me build my confidence and helped me to become an experienced manager much sooner than I would have without his help."

—Matt Fawcett, Channel Sales Manager, Ultimaker

"I wanted a coach that would enable me to achieve greater levels of performance and prepare me for greater responsibility in the future. Within 18 months of working with Phil, I grew from leading one team with 14 sales professionals to leading three teams with 25 team members. My initial sales team grew production 50% with the same number of reps. Phil helped me structure my teams to be more efficient and productive, never by telling me what to do, but by asking all the right questions to steer me in the direction I needed to go. Phil has helped me create much deeper relationships internally, enabling me to have greater influence and to become a catalyst for change and growth within my company."

—Tyler Haggin, Customer Service Manager, GoEngineer

"Phil’s been a great resource! As a Sales leader, I am pretty good with the logistics of the role; regular forecast reviews, weekly team meetings, etc. Where Phil helped me grow was the human side of managing high performing sales people. Our discussions and my growth were focused on the high performers mindset, emotional intelligence, courageous conversations and creating a team culture where self-examination, continuous improvement and growth becomes normal and part of our teams’ DNA.

Phil has an incredible ability to dig into an issue, find its root cause, and then ask a series of challenging questions that lead you to a solution. His approach has been highly effective, resulting in consistent sales growth from my team and a recent promotion for me, moving from Regional Sales Director to VP of Sales. I look forward to continuing my work with Phil as we tackle new challenges and opportunities together.

—Marcus Vaughan, Director, Information Security and Quality at Rockwell Automation, Milwaukee Wisconsin

—Rich Werneth, President, Computer Aided Technology, Inc.

"Being the CEO is the loneliest position in the company and there are very few people you can talk to about certain challenges. That’s one of the reasons I’m grateful for Phil. He understands where you’re coming from and has real-world experience, so his advice is informed, personal, and not just "by the book." It’s tailor made to my specific situation. Invaluable coach to the C-Suite!"

—Todd Majeski, President & Owner, 3DVision Technologies

“Phil’s coaching has increased my business substantially. Over the course of a short engagement, Phil used scenario-based planning to help me pay attention to the details that refined my focus enabling me to fully leverage my intellect and effort. The results of our work together has produced a 130% increase in gross revenue, and an 86% increase in my personal income over the past two years. Thanks so much, Phil!”

—Lance Wright, Account Executive, TPM

"When you’re the one sitting in the driver’s seat, it’s hard sometimes to identify the issues negatively impacting performance. Phil has a unique ability to pull back the curtain and shine a light on those key issues.

Phil works from a place of genuine sincerity and caring; he has a true desire to see improvement and growth. In helping me more fully discover and leverage the skills and abilities that already reside within me, Phil has helped me grow my personal income 24% this year over the previous year. He has instilled within me a greater sense of confidence and a champion’s mindset. If you want to build momentum quickly and permanently, reach out to Phil; he’s an outstanding resource!"

—Steve Mercurio, Client Executive, Strategic Accounts, Tri-Mech

"Phil’s work had a significant impact on our company within six months. He came in with a library of tools that we could adapt to our business, enabling us to accelerate the pace of our progress. Part of the value of working with Phil is his tremendous experience, outside perspective, and his exceptional ability to connect with and engage every single participant. We implemented his Quarterly Operational Planning Process, which enabled us to fully engage and leverage the experience and intellect of our entire leadership team. We’ve taken to calling him Dr. Phil because he’s the one we turn to when we have a challenge or obstacle impeding growth!"

—Rod Levin, Vice President – Partner, Tech Services, Computer Aided Technology

"Nothing worthwhile is ever easy, and the same is true with Phil’s coaching. It’s a high-investment, high-return scenario that is TRULY worthwhile. Being a “tech guy,” I had my doubts at first about how much Phil, as a business and leadership coach, would truly know about my job and my field.

However, it quickly became apparent that when breaking down obstacles with Phil, the large, seemingly insurmountable barriers to progress morphed into speed bumps, made up of manageable elements. It’s most impressive the way Phil is able to distill my problems or opportunities down to their core sticking points. More often than not, it’s all about people (and not the technology). This especially helped me invest early on in my relationship with Phil, as it helped me quickly get over the biggest hurdle which was… “is this going to be worth my time?” Emphatically, the answer is YES! Working with Phil has been one of the most valuable time investments I’ve made.  

The way that Phil asks exploratory questions helps me to understand the problem myself. He’s never judging or critical, just genuinely curious about breaking things down. Most of the time, he’s already got some great ideas on how to get over those individual challenges. 

Phil and I work together to brainstorm potential solutions, always finding a way to attack the problem using my ideas and voice. I especially appreciate that even though part of the coaching is to dial in to what my style and voice should be, Phil navigates the line so well between being an authority on problem-solving and being a guiding hand molding my management persona. This helps me stay invested (and excited for!) the coaching process as time goes on. I really feel like I own the progress we’ve made.

I really appreciate that Phil doesn’t accept lackluster effort or performance. I have a feeling that if I wasn’t able to fully invest in the process, he’d let me know that it wasn’t working out. 

I am so grateful for the guidance that Phil’s provided, because it’s allowed me to seek advice and help in a non-skeptical way, which is something that had previously been a challenge. This could actually be the greatest benefit of all, as it helps my family and personal life as well as my career. My advice to potential clients is: Make sure you’re ready for real growth and everything that comes along with it, because when you feel like any problem is solvable, your scope widens greatly and the urge to keep the momentum going is strong!”

—Jeff Jordan, Engineering Manager, SolidWorks and Stratasys 3D Printers

"Anytime a consultant comes into the picture, people feel nervous. However, Phil’s people skills made my group feel at ease. Phil did what he said he would do, and more. I was pleasantly surprised by his sincere interest in our successes and failures. I find this refreshing in today's business environment."

—Jerry Batzner, President, Batzner Pest Management
